Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is a hands-on educational

between students and equines in an environment of learning
and self-discovery. The barn and farm environment naturally
lends itself as a unique multi-sensory classroom. Best of
all…it’s fun!!

Our staff includes PATH Intl. dual credentialed
professionals with years of experience in teaching social
and life skills, academics, working with individuals with
special needs and challenges, and partnering with equines.

Our equine team includes well trained horses, ponies,
minis and donkeys, each offering their unique attraction and
interactions.

Our learning accommodations - We provide a supportive
educational environment. Our inclusive teaching strategies
support all learning styles. Accommodations and
modifications are utilized as needed to promote individual

opportunities, to insure that the students transfer the
skills they learned and practiced with the equines, to their
daily social and life situations.

Academics on the Farm
(monthly program)Each month explores an academic
subject through life on the farm and interactions with
horses, ponies, minis and donkeys. Sample class: History –
We will explore how ‘equines” have accompanied mankind
throughout history. As we meet the horses and donkeys,
ponies and minis at the farm, we will learn how their
ancestors helped us hunt for food, fight in wars, provided
transportation, and worked our farms.

Mules and donkeys labored by our sides in many industries
providing power and hauling. Equines even provided us with
entertainments and sport. Even the pint size miniature
horses had jobs to do. We will cover how horses helped us
throughout history and then go back in time to ride in an
old pony pulled wagon.
